Rainbows

Is there a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow? If you believe the old Irish stories about how leprechauns hide their gold at the end of the rainbow, you might be tempted to try to find the end. No one has ever found the end of a rainbow!
The ancient Greeks believed that a rainbow was a path between Heaven and Earth. Rainbows were made by Iris who was a messenger of the gods. In Norse mythology, the rainbow was also a link between the homes of gods and humans.
In myths and stories from many cultures, the rainbow is an actual bow belonging to a god. For example, in Hindu myths the rainbow is Indra’s bow. Indra is the god of thunder, lightning & rain.
In Amazonian cultures of South America, rainbows were made by evil spirits who wanted to harm people. They would try to make people sick. Remember to keep your mouth closed when looking at a rainbow to stop the evil spirits!
Today we know that when rays of light from the sun pass through drops of water rainbows are made. The rays of sunlight are bent in just the right way to produce to different colours. The colours of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet (purple).

Rain and Hail

Dark clouds were in the sky. The sun went down. The weather got cold. The wind started to blow. Leaves blew off the trees. Paper flew through the air. People buttoned their jackets. The rain started to fall. At first it was quiet. Then it got louder. It was a storm. The rain was very loud. The man couldn't hear his TV. He turned up the volume. Now he could hear his TV. He looked outside his door. He looked at the rain. It was pouring off his roof. It was a flood. Then he saw lightning. Then he heard thunder. It was a very cold night. The rain changed to hail. The hail was very noisy. He turned up the TV volume again. Now he could hear his TV again. He watched TV for a while. Then he looked outside again. All the cars were white. The street was white. The ground was white. The hail covered everything. The hail looked just like snow. He wanted to make a big snowman. But you can't make a snowman out of hail.

1.- READING. Here is the text you are supposed to read.

If I Could, I Would (2nd conditional)

Sometimes it is fun to think about things that we know will probably never be true. We can ask ourselves questions that don’t really have answers. If you won a million dollars in the lottery, what would you do? It would be nice to win the lottery but the chances of that happening are very small. If I won a million dollars, I would travel but I would also give some money to charity. And you? What would you do?
If you had a time machine to travel with, would you visit the past or would you visit the future?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Would you like to live in more than one place if you had the chance? It would be interesting to experience different cultures for awhile but it would be difficult to decide which cultures because there is so much diversity in the world. If I could live anywhere I wanted, I might have trouble deciding!
What abilities would you have if you had superhuman powers? Would you want to be very strong? If I had super powers, I would like to be able to fly. Would you like to be able to fly too?
If you could talk to animals, what would you say? If you were an astronaut, where would you like to go? If you had one wish, what would it be? If you could ask me a question, what would you ask?

Vocabulary help:

• abilities (noun) plural of ability – If you have the ability to do something, then you are able to do it.
• astonaut (noun) – someone who travels in space
• awhile (adverb) – for a short time
• charity (noun) – organization that gives money, food or help to people in need
• diversity (noun) – many different types of people or cultures,
• time machine (noun) - an imaginary machine that lets you travel back in time, or into the future

2.- INFORMATION

El Condicional en Inglés

En el condicional imaginamos que pasaría bajo ciertas condiciones imaginarias.

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
Si tuviera yo mucho dinero, viajaría por todo el mundo.

(No tengo mucho dinero pero estoy imaginando que haría si tuviera mucho.)

En oraciones condicionales, ponemos el verbo en el pasado en la parte de la oración que empieza con la palabra if (aunque no refiere al pasado). Si el verbo es negativo, usamos el verbo auxiliar didn't igual como con verbos en el pasado. En la segunda parte de la oración (la parte sin la palabra if) usamos el verbo auxiliar would. Si la oración es negativa, usamos would not o la contracción wouldn't.

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't work.

Podemos poner la parte de la oración que empieza con if primero o segundo, pero si lo ponemos primero, tenemos que poner una coma después de esa parte de la oración.

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't work.
I wouldn't work if I had a lot of money.

 

NOTA #1:
El verbo to be es un poco diferente en oraciones condicionales. Esto es un aspecto de gramática que está cambiando. Antes en los libros de gramática decían que se tenía que decir . . .

If I were rich, I would travel around the world.

En oraciones condicionales como ésta, el verbo to be siempre tenía que ser were, aun en la primera y tercera persona singular (I, he, she, it). Antes se consideraba mala gramática decir was en este tipo de oración. Esto está cambiando y ahora hasta en libros de gramática ponen las dos alternativas (was y were).

If I was rich, I would travel around the world.
If I were rich, I would travel around the world.

NOTA #2:
No olvides que could es el pasado del verbo auxiliar can. Usamos could en lugar de can para indicar una situación imaginaria.

If I could fly like a bird, I would sell my car.
Si pudiera volar como un pájaro, vendería mi carro.

También podemos usar could en lugar de would en oraciones condicionales para significar podría.

If I had wings, I could fly like a bird.
Si tuviera alas, podría volar como un pájaro.

April Fool's Day  April 1st, or April Fools Day, is the day when we play jokes on people. Do you have it in your country?
Vocabulary
a fool- someone who doesn't understand what is happening
to tease- laugh at, make fun of someone, joke about something
to play a joke (on someone)- to do something funny that another person doesn't know about or suspect at first
container- something that holds something else, like a box, a bottle, or a jar
to play a trick (on someone)- same as play a joke
in the spirit of fun- with an atmosphere of fun, just for fun, lighthearted


April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar was introduced called the Gregorian calendar. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people did not know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar container so another person could "accidentally" put it in their coffee. Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say "April Fool." Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone today? Try it out. Just don't forget to say "April Fool" when the other person begins looking a little confused.

I am friendly. I am nice. I am kind. Why don't people like me? All I want is one friend. Everyone has one friend. I always see people with their friends. They laugh with each other. They have fun with each other. They do things with each other. What about me? I am by myself. I watch TV by myself. I go to movies by myself. I go to restaurants by myself. I go to the park by myself. I told my mother that I am lonely. She said it is my fault. "Why?" I asked. She said, "Because you never ask anyone to be with you." My mom is right. I never ask people to be with me. I am afraid they will say no.

Pencil story

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.


Now replacing the place of the pencil with you.  Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

As...As En Inglés, Cómo Utilizarlo

El conector comparativo as..as o tan...como en español, nos puede servir para expresar una comparación con un cierto grado de semejanza o diferencia. Para poder utilizarlo correctamente debemos conocer su estructura y sus diferentes modos de aplicación.

My horse can run as fast as a car

Mi caballo puede correr tan rapido como un coche

I speak English as well as the teacher

Hablo inglés tan bien como la maestra

2. As...As antes de Pronombres.

Podemos utilizar los pronombres complemento (me, him, etc) después de as...as, especialmente en una conversación informal. Por ejemplo:

He doesn't play as well as me

El no juega tan bien como yo

Pero en una conversación formal, utilizamos el pronombre junto al verbo. Por ejemplo:

He doesn't play as well as I do

El no juega tan bien como Yo lo hago

2.- INFORMATION.

"Some" y "any".

Cómo utilizar "some" y "any".

"Some" y "any" como artículos.

Normalmente, "some" y "any" se utilizan como el plural de "a" y "an" o como artículos para referirse a sustantivos incontables. Es mejor leer la sección de los artículos junto con esta sección.

El alumno de habla española no debe siempre buscar traducción a "some" y "any", a veces: "algo de", "algunos" etc. En castellano, es normalmente más natural omitir palabras de traducción que son redundantes en la mayoría de los casos:

There are some books on the chair.
(Hay algunos libros en la silla.)

Para generalizar, podemos decir que "some" se utiliza en frases afirmativas y "any" en frases negativas y interrogativas.

There are some books on the chair.
(Hay libros en la silla.)

There aren't any books on the chair.
(No hay libros en la silla.)

Are there any books on the chair?
(¿Hay libros en la silla?)

"Some" y "any" pueden referirse tanto a sustantivos contables en plural como sustantivos incontables:

There's some milk in the fridge.
(Hay leche en el frigorífico.)

There aren't any biscuits left.
(No quedan galletas.)
